The President of Sierra Leone, Dr. Julius Bio, has criticized the $50 billion spent annually by African countries on food imports.
Speaking on Wednesday in Ibadan at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) during the third day of his visit, Bio emphasized that the imported food items could be grown within the region.
During a session tagged “Strategic Dialogue” on Wednesday, President Bio urged African leaders to brace up and work towards changing the narrative of dependence on foreign food.
